Factory shafts fit average hands. Thin shafts cause grip fatigue on long paddles. Everyone's hand size is different. One-size-fits-all doesn't work.
Tape with adhesive fails in water. It peels off, gets sticky, and leaves residue on carbon shafts. You need something that survives wet conditions.
Paddlers need grip customization that works wet, stays on, and removes clean.
The self-adhering formula stays bonded even when soaked. Squeeze out water and it re-bonds. Stays on through full paddle sessions.
Build up shaft diameter where your hands grip. Larger diameter means less squeezing, less fatigue on long days.
Use colored Guard-Tex to mark hand positions. Find consistent placement without looking down.
Foam grips add bulk everywhere. Adhesive tape fails wet. Dip coatings are permanent. Guard-Tex targets specific grip zones, survives water, and removes clean.
Find where your hands naturally sit on the shaft. These are your customization zones.
Wrap layers where you want added thickness. More layers equals larger diameter and less fatigue.
Test on the water. Adjust based on comfort and performance. Easy to rebuild.
Yes. Guard-Tex bonds to itself, not to water. Squeeze out excess and it re-bonds. Stays on through full sessions.
